Open Haus by HAUS217
HAUS217 is actually a space that serves as a venue for weddings and events, however, on days that no events are booked, HAUS217 transforms into a beautiful Japanese minimalist-style cafe that serves up delicious cups of coffee and premium teas along with gorgeous pastries.
The interior
The venue draws inspiration from the Japanese lifestyle Wabi-Sabi which is to embrace and appreciate the beauty in imperfection.
Upon stepping in, you’ll feel a wave of calm wash over you because of the stones and crafted stained woods that exude a homely feel. The large glass windows allow lots of natural lighting to enter the venue, making every spot the perfect one for photos for the ‘gram.
Right smack in the middle of the venue is a stunning art installation, and wooden furniture adorned with potted plants are placed around it, offering every diner a good view of the art piece as they sip on their afternoon coffee.
The passageways are built with arches and curves to create spaciousness and a sense of flow, giving rise to a cosy and welcoming vibe.
Menu offerings
In order to enter this pop-up cafe, you would have to book tickets in advance. Tickets are priced at S$8 per person, with S$8 credits for you to spend on coffee and bakes.
Some of the items you can expect for bakes include the Matcha Raspberry Bundt Cake (S$10), Hojicha Roll (S$8), Pineapple Meringue Tart (S$6.50), Croissant (S$5), Matcha Canele (S$5), and Red Velvet Cake (S$6).
The Red Velvet Cake is said to be extremely moist with a harmonious blend of cream cheese, red velvet sponge, and chocolate. The Hojicha Roll is also recommended by customers who have tried it, with some saying that the layer of cream had light notes of green tea, making the cake that much more fragrant and delicious.
Do note, however, that the bakes offered are seasonal and different items will be available on different days and timings. This is so that there will be more variety offered and to give diners something to look forward to during their next visit!
For coffee-lovers, you can choose from Espresso (S$3.50), Black (S$4.50), White (S$5), or Mocha (S$6.50) with a choice of an extra shot of espresso, ice, or oat milk for an additional S$1. Other beverages available include Cold Pressed Orange (S$7), Elderflower Black Tea Spritz (S$8), and Cold Pressed Grape Soda (S$10).
